And this is why I buy from Threadless

alias_sqbrThe subjects of two emails I got today:
From Threadless: We luv $5 shipping (and $10 too, for you non-US folks)
From CafePress: FREE Shipping to [name of the Australian suburb I live in] - or to your sweetheart's door
But of course once I opened the Cafepress email there was fine print about the free shipping only applying inside the US. Amazon does this too, putting FREE SHIPPING all over their emails and website while simultaneously trying to make everything feel "personalised", with my name everywhere and references to Things Australians Might Like. This does not endear them to me.
There are productive things I should be doing right now but I feel incredibly crap and complaining about companies being wrong on the internet is more emotionally satisfying.
